2. Software delivery is at the heart of today’s top technology trends

Software delivery is at the heart of today’s top technology trends
Software delivery
Intelligent/ Connected Systems Software component in smart products driving increased value and differentiation
Big Data Insights on new products by more efficiently interpreting massive quantities of data
Cloud
Demand for apps requires fast, scalable environments for dev and test, as well as production
Instrumented Products Industry requirements demand faster response to regulations
and standards, with traceability and quality
Social Business
Broader set of stakeholders collaborates to deliver continuous innovation and value
Mobile Modern workforce expects constantly updated software to connect to enterprise systems
Businesses who can establish software delivery as their core competency will be able to exploit the emerging technology trends
Unprecedented demands from cloud, mobile and social, and big data and analytics, instrumented products etc. are causing significant changes in how companies deliver software, requiring new levels of collaboration and innovation.
Business as usual in IT is not going to survive. Traditional software delivery methods evolved over the years across many IT industries now pose a bigger risk tan ever, resulting in loss of competitive advantage where business survival can be at stake.
TRANSITION: And majority are still taking the traditional approach when it comes to software delivery

3. Systems of Interaction Continuous client experience3
A lack of continuous delivery impacts the entire business enterprise in the new reality of “Systems Of Interaction”
>45%
of customers experience production delays
>50% of outsourced projects fail to meet objectives
>70%
of budgets devoted to maintenance and operations
4-6 weeks
to deliver even minor application changes to customers
Systems of Interaction
Continuous client experience
Partner value chain
Cloud-based Services
Systems of Engagement
Systems of Record
Operations Rapid app releases impact system stability and compliance
Suppliers Delivery in the context of agile
Development/Test Speed mismatch between faster moving front office and slower moving back office systems, delaying time to obtain feedback
Line-of-business Takes too long to introduce or make changes to mobile apps and services HR DB
ERP MF
iSeries
CRM
Results show that current software delivery methods need to change as they cannot satisfy stakeholder or business needs
A lack of continuous delivery impact the entire business. And when you combine the new requirements coming from Systems of engagement side which now have to integrate and access existing systems of record applications, the complexity dramatically increases.
Business Need: Experiment in the market to judge success of products and services. LOB: Cannot iterate quickly with market based on IT timelines
Business Need: Maintain system stability. Ops: Cannot keep up with the pace of change pushed into the system
Business Need: Quickly iterate on functionality. Dev: Cannot access production-like environments to validate application changes
TRANSITION: Status-quo is not sustainable, a new approach is needed.

7. Investing in Release Automation … Introducing UrbanCode7
Investing in Release Automation … Introducing UrbanCode
Enabling clients to more rapidly deliver mobile, cloud, big data and traditional applications with high quality and low risk
UrbanCode improves software delivery enabling continuous release and deployment via application release automation, helping to drive down costs, speed time to market and reduce risk.
To complement IBM’s DevOps solutions already in place, UrbanCode was acquired to strengthen the Release & Deploy segment
Speak to changing delivery mindset:
Infrastructure Developer vs. Operator/Administrator
Need to bring a software development mindset to the operational areas
Replicate, where appropriate, standard architecture/development tools and methodologies
Use an Agile approach to delivery of routine tasks
Continuous, incremental improvements and delivery of new functionality
Automated unit and integration testing improves operational runtimes
Version management for scripts & source code
Automation routines and scripts are fundamental to Operations
Central point of truth as routines and environments change
Identify possible regressions by comparing with prior versions
Example Managed Assets:
Perl, Jython, WSADMIN, ANT scripts, Service orchestration routines (opsware, buildforge, etc),
Drive down cost Remove manual effort and wasted resource time with push button deployment processes Speed time to market Simple, graphical process designer, with built-in actions to quickly create deployment automation Reduce risk Robust configuration management, coordinated release processes, audits, and traceability
IBM UrbanCode Deploy automates the deployment of applications, databases and configurations into development, test and production environments, helping to drive down cost, speed time to market with reduced risk.
IBM UrbanCode Release is an intelligent collaboration release management solution that replaces error-prone manual spreadsheets and streamlines release activities for application and infrastructure changes.

Deployment Automation Developer or Deploy Administrator imports the AMC Plug-in into Deploy. The Plug-in is configured to auto-discover WAS installs on specific resources so when the agent comes on-line it will invoke the AMC plug-in which will discover the cell topology and create WAS Cell and WAS Cluster subresources back on the Deploy server.
A Middleware Administrator or Application Developer unzips the AMC plug-in on a system that has connectivity to the exemplar WAS cell
The Middleware Administrator or Application Developer will run a script packaged in the AMC plug-in that will prompt for some information, then discover and import configuration from the exemplar WAS cell
The AMC template creation script will ask the user for a base product template (e.g. WAS v8.5) and to chose what configuration data from the imported cell should be added (either only cell scoped configuration or a cluster configuration). Note that if any custom tokens are required (e.g. host specific information like JDBC connection URL, etc.), then the Middleware Administrator or Application Developer will need to open the appropriate template file up for editing and insert the tokens manually. They will then need to create appropriate properties on the appropriate WAS Cell/Cluster resources to ensure the token substitution happens correctly during deployment (this is not directly shown in the diagram above for the sake of clarity).
The AMC template creation script will prompt the user for information required to connect to a Deploy server, including the name of the WAS configuration component and will create/update the template in CodeStation.
The Deployment Automation Developer should now have all the Deploy artifacts he needs to assemble the Application including deploy/undeploy processes
The application, including WAS configuration, can be deployed and promoted across all environments defined in the application
